Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches for the best texture.
  • Fresh mozzarella melts beautifully and complements the peaches.
  • Prosciutto is best added after baking.
  • A pizza stone creates a crispier crust.
  • Burrata can be substituted for mozzarella.
  • Arugula adds a fresh peppery finish.
  • Hot honey creates a delicious sweet-spicy variation.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven rather than the microwave.
  • Fresh basil should always be added after baking.
  • Try nectarines as an alternative to peaches.
  • Use high-quality olive oil for maximum flavor.
